Thanks to the efforts of our regular campaigner Megan J Riedl, Words Out Loud is participating in the Smythesdale Fiesta on Sunday 7 February.

Starting at 2pm in the Old Courthouse in Brooke Street, the event will feature Megan with special guests including fellow WOL regulars Fraser Mackay and Zoe Werner, and we will have some 5-minute open mic opportunities available.

Please contact us if you’re interested in sharing poetry or spoken word at the event. 

We attended a spoken word event at the Fiesta in 2019 and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the town of Smythesdale, so we’re chuffed to have this opportunity. We hope to see some familiar faces!

It’s our great pleasure to introduce this special edition of Words Out Loud, a podcast as part of the Melbourne Spoken Word Festival Online (which runs until 9 August 2020).

An extra-warm welcome to those contributors from outside the Central Highlands — it’s lovely to have you with us!

It’s a bumper edition, and some of the contributors have been able to add music and sound effects, making this a great show for us to go out on. Not forever — just while COVID-19 is making it difficult to conduct regular live performances. We will be back as soon as it is safe and practicable to do so.

Much thanks to all those who took the time to record work, however they could, and we look forward to getting back on stage with you all. Meantime, stay well, stay safe, and we’ll see you on the other side.
